As you know, the white color is the easiest to combine, as it matches all shades. So whatever you choose will look good. You can choose either a tie with a bright color, or stripes, or even with a pattern. In any case, if you also wear a jacket, pay attention to the color you choose, so that it does not contrast too much and the colors match.

You probably already know this, but the most common and beautiful combination with a pink shirt is a purple tie. This is because the colors are similar, so they match perfectly together. In addition, a brown tie, even a striped one, will upgrade your look. Don't forget, however, that a blue tie will make such a contrast, that you will impress.

3. Tie with a light blue shirt

Light blue shirts go incredibly well with a dark blue tie as they are similar shades. If you don't like this combination, you can try red shades, such as bright red or burgundy. In addition, don't hesitate to wear patterned, striped or polka-dotted ties, as they will look just as impressive.

4. Striped shirt with tie

In this case, the safest option is to choose a monochromatic tie, such as black or blue. However, a subtle design would not be a bad choice if you combine them properly. Don't forget, however, that if you choose a patterned tie, it must be a different size than the shirt. Be that as it may, a men's outfit always looks stylish and impressive with right color combinations.
